Mobile Blogging By SMS with Glimt

Recently a topic of discussion has been mobile blogging. How do you do it, is it important that you be able to set it up from your mobile, etc. I myself have been toying with a few different methods, but was also recently notified of Glimt.com, which allows you to quickly and easily setup a blog from your mobile, and update it via SMS.

Currently they only have a setup SMS number for the UK, which means if you live somewhere else, you may be looking at some high rates, but if you’re in the UK, you’re good to go. Just send your first post to the Glimt.com SMS number and it’s automatically setup. Your blog’s web address is www.glimt.com/YourCountryCodeYourPhoneNumber, and you can share that with your friends and family and whoever else you want to share it with.

For users outside the UK not interested in sending massive amounts of International SMS, you could likely setup (on your PC first) a Twitter account and just not subscribe to anyone. Your ‘sms blog’ address would be www.twitter.com/username and it would likely accomplish the same feat, albeit with a bit extra setup.
